he says it's doing all it can and is on the right track to reduce its crippling deficit the prime minister also pleaded for germany's assistance ahead of talks with chancellor merkel as the greek parliament prepares to vote on a new set of cards needed to secure the next a vital bailout installment on the surface is in athens for us we're hearing more positive rhetoric coming from the greek prime minister george passenger today he's been talking to the federation of industry in berlin and he's going to be meeting with the german chancellor later today we've heard him saying that he thinks his country can get out of this crisis in much the same that we heard friend who she's been saying that they're behind greece trying to rebuild confidence but they haven't actually proposed any measures now from here in athens that's that will be met with some skepticism because remember we've been here before and what we're seeing now is once again greece is really being taken to the brink on the streets

here in athens would be seeing the protest movements now today parliament's going to be voting on a bill to pass by even even more so she measures a very unpopular property tax that's being discussed in part of it is still the lawmakers are going to preach that people are turning out on the streets to protest to say it's not even the case anymore of whether they want to pay this money they simply can't pay it it's being taxed on top of tax very very strict austerity measures novi speaking to analysts here on the ground she said really default for the country's been on the cards for a long long time it's just not something the leaders a willing to talk about in the open at the moment that's certainly what the feeling is here at the moment in athens despite the very public line as we said from the leaders that greece is absolutely not going to exit the euro zone is that much stronger language that wouldn't be allowed the talk here is not an exit in necessarily but certainly the bull's eye is a very realistic. disability right now as he said is described as one of the worst

kept secrets it's certainly something that most people hear things are going to happen it would just be a case of exactly how now people are saying that response to be able to do it its way in the controls to fold but quite possibly the going to know what we're going to see isn't buying themselves time that's what we've been told that there's this next tranche of money that should be coming greece's where the maybe eurozone leaders haven't said whether they're going to release it or not the eight billion euros that greece needs to stay afloat now people here are saying that that is going to happen at some point but not necessarily in greece interest to the easy to be so in control of the situation in this way as he said growing public anger a very similar feeling here or there may be on the streets quite worryingly to the last time we were back here in the summer when they said very poor and filing protests erupted the movement already today there's not a huge turnout of numbers it's yet but the ready ferry very tense we've seen

a very large number of riot police on the ground so very tense outbreaks between the riot police and the protesters the here at the moment we've had later on this evening that a lot of people expected to turn out on to some type of right now once again the greek people feeling that really they've reached breaking point. euro zone leaders are reportedly planning to boost the region's bailout facility almost four fold by a leading european business journalist believes that won't be the end of it you know how one overvoltage told me that greece will almost inevitably export its financial troubles. contagion is imminent i mean the situation in portugal in ireland is well known portugal is i think in worse shape than ireland but of course the big question with respect to the future of the euro zone is what will happen to spain and italy because here the amounts are that much higher and the need to intervene is that much more huge then it is with respect to real portugal that

we're really then in a totally other ball game a ball game in which for example germany would certainly be very doubtful to go it all the way well if we only look at greece i think it would be a very good thing for greece to leave the eurozone and since greece is only a very small part of the eurozone one can do the kind of exit the greek exit in an orderly way if it is done this orderly it would tales within the euro zone i think and i'm fully convinced that an exit of the of greece from the euro zone is from a technically monetary point of view perfectly doable it only takes a little bit of coolness to do it and it would solve a lot it to a large extent greece problem still it needs more export and more import competitiveness to regain some economic growth it cannot find growth

without the major devaluation of the currency which in this case would mean that greece leaves the euro zone. that was your hand out of a belt editor in chief of belgium's leading business magazine on how he thinks greece can escape collapse. let's cross to syria now where government troops have reportedly stormed a key opposition tallow pounding it overnight with heavy machine gun fire russia's foreign ministers were yesterday to the talks all this election the peace not more western sanctions where he's been speaking ahead of his u.n. general. the address in new york. is that for us that's close to home life now is this it would all four minutes the level of the concerns here. certainly syria is the number one topic of the day here at the united nations we know that as the united states tries to lobby within the international body to gather support from members of the security council for

a resolution on syria for set of sanctions from the security council on syria this comes as the united states really calls for the resignation of the syrian president after the chaos that has been entailing on the ground but russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has been making it clear here in new york that russia believes that a set of sanctions that would not be very carefully weighed would not be supported by russia he is reminding the international community and the united states the president of the lessons really learned in history with libya where resolution was passed by the security council calling for a no fly zone but did call for all necessary measures and this is something that has turned out into not something all members of the security council were ready to consider and really see happen on the ground so the russian foreign minister has been saying that russia really believes that the syrian government should start implementing the reforms that they have been announcing and really start working on

that unless all really pros and cons are weighed and thought through russia would not support a western resolution an american backed resolution on syria as we know the united states and the european union have passed a set of unilateral sanctions against syria without consulting moscow and has now been working in the frame of the of the security council trying to get him out moscow to back this but the russian foreign minister says this is something that is going to have to wait and russia's not going to support as of now take a listen to what he had to say. when most of the difference we cannot support the projects that is being pushed through by western countries and it is among other things to do with the libyan experience we ask what the next strategy is how have you calculated your next steps the answer we get is that we haven't thought about it yet but president assad needs to go we need to drive him into a corner with sanctions he should go first and then we'll see that it's

a very simple but i believe not very reliable strategy if it can be called a strategy at all but surely will. well as we heard the russian foreign minister say there it's not a strategy at all as of now what the united states is proposing it's important that this is really comes from the experience with libya because the decision the sanctions that were proposed and really accepted and put forward by the security council when the libyan conflict was breaking out were very quick and prompt and the russian foreign minister believes now time should be taken to really consider all the further steps if a sanctions resolution were to be considered and this is that is said to speak. and he what else will he be. the world's the or face me. alice we're absolutely waiting for the russian foreign minister to address the united nations general assembly really in the minutes to come and one of the most

important issues throughout the united nations general assembly session this year has been palestine bid for statehood certainly really causing a lot of different work behind the scenes because as we know the united states has said if palestine were to officially place a bid to the security council the u.s. would veto this decision and of course we know as the u.s. is one of the permanent members of the security council this means such a resolution would not pass however and they were working very hard to try to prevent palestine from place in this bid by the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas did announce on friday that palestinian the palestinian people are going ahead with this bid for statehood they want the security council to consider this we know that officially this is going to come from the security council the beginning of the official process is coming on wednesday and this is of course seen something that the united states and israel really don't want to happen the u.s. is working really behind closed doors in negotiations with security council members

to try to prevent and prolong really having such consideration be put on the table but this is something that is something that's launched and we're going to have to wait and see how this develops at this. security council we do know even though the u.s. doesn't want to do this if the resolution is voted on the u.s. will veto this which means that palestine will end up going to the united nations general assembly which is that which would give it really more of a symbolic status that official recognition by the international community within the united nations but would still give it serious access to many united nations institutions and palestine is certainly ready and working on going ahead with this if the security council resolution doesn't pass. many thanks for that our correspondents the chicken there for us live in new york. still to come here on my way or the highway tough words from russia's program to seize the finance minister saying vital military money is not all for discussion and then the one who

thinks differently can gain out. of the beautiful does become a blessing for the islanders of spitsbergen in the arctic all good things come out the costs are to tells you why. jobs in the u.k. are getting fewer and fewer and it seems the vacancies that all there are being swept up by non brits immigrants that scooping up a whopping ninety percent of positions i bet it explains why. jaymes amongst the growing ranks of unemployed he's been trying to find a job in social housing since may competitions fears that for the six agencies now working for each job so you just find that you know it looks like this about you they will get shortlisted of it as look at salaries slightly less you know maybe going to go out to college and maybe do some parts on unemployment's now it eight percent the highest for fifteen years but no matter how hard jamie tries the odds

are stacked against him job centers like this one helped fill one hundred eighty thousand new vacancies in the last twelve months but only eight percent of those went to british workers with foreign nationals more successful in the job market nine times out of ten reversing that trend was a key election pledge of the new government promising to slash immigration but a year on it's only increased migration was nearly a quarter of a million last year up to twenty percent on two thousand and nine and britain second biggest annual total ever way off the government's five figure target i think we're probably over promising given the restrictions that they face it didn't make sense to promise to bring the number down to an arbitrary level we initially been having a more honest debate with the public about the limits on what they could do the government claims its target can be met by capping normally you immigration but that ignores how most are coming from within the e.u.

the restrictions don't apply entry numbers for eastern europeans by eight times in the last year alone as they continue to cash in on the open borders it's unlikely that a top of the measures are announced that target might come close but it is unlikely to me to refer to measures are necessary for others the problem lies at home pretty patel's an m.p. and from an immigrant family herself she knows what it takes to. succeed here but says most don't i go back to thirty forty years ago and you've seen immigrants come to this country what they wanted to is they want to work hard and get on in life they really do the families think about except except truck you know new days gone past we used to have a tremendous british work ethic in this country we really did i think we've effectively lost some of that was it was easy to see that at the job center where most i'm it will migrant workers the problem is that a lot of hit haiti but i got used to not doing the minimum wage jobs and low paid

work so they need to be forced into taking these jobs the government claims it's now doing just that it says we are reforming the welfare system to ensure that we end the benefit dependency which is trap so many people and finally ensure work pays but once the long term unemployed can be forced to look for jobs there's no guarantee they'll get them coming back to their immigration promise the government simply can't keep either bennett r.t. london. or the me that image videos asserted that whoever disagrees with presidential policy should look for another job which is exactly what happened to the now former finance minister he sat on one day alexei kruger and said he couldn't work under a new government of medvedev became prime minister in the future well at the top because all of us takes up the story. well since president medvedev came to power there were certain areas of the country ditties earmarked for spending in

improvement things like improvements in the prisons and the armed forces now some of these spending policies piers to have been in disagreement to what alexi could in thoughts and that's why he lost his job on monday now president dmitri medvedev has on tuesday robustly defended his spending policies saying that this defense spending in particular is crucial to the development of russia when you more from the way we can do without defense spending and the spending should be worthy of russia we're not some banana republic we're a big country with a permanent member of the u.n. security council and we have nuclear weapons that's why an increase in spending for the defense budget arms and salaries for military personnel will be the government's top priority and whoever disagrees with that can work out some will miss well could really clearly did disagree with that and now he will be looking for work elsewhere this all really came to a head the catalyst for it being the announcement that

a lot of me of putin will run for the presidency in twenty twelve and that he would put forward dimitri midgette as his prime minister this could in to say that he couldn't work with. to be traded as prime minister due to spending policies made dead of in turn issued an ultimatum to could in saying i think get on board or get out and ten be a resignation that didn't come and he was dismissed from his post late last night after eleven years. or keep across developments on that story also at r.t. dot com of course including the actual frosty exchange itself between the president on the man who was his chess retreat ok also online a few days the kalashnikov rifle to bite the bullet as brass as defense ministry decides that the country's most iconic weapon is outdated. and last days in the mood to move this says into this insane. dancing maps use video showing before me
